The exterior of the L'Ultime is inspired by the original Chiron's, unveiled back in 2016.
The original Chiron, which debuted at the Geneva Motor Show in 2016, featured a combination of Atlantic Blue and French Racing Blue. For the 500th and final Chiron, Molsheim's Sur Mesure department has revisited this paint scheme. The L’Ultime gets individually painted front and rear wheels that match the bodywork’s hues, and the bespoke Bugatti macaron emblem on the horseshoe grille is accented in blue.
Gets #500 engraved on the exterior.
Distinctive features include a hand-written number ‘500’ on the body, wheel caps, and rear wing, as well as an engraving on the engine cover. The profile of the car is adorned with hand-written names of significant locations in the Chiron’s development, such as Ehra-Lessien (where it clocked 482 kmph), Paul Ricard (where it was tested), Geneva (where it debuted), and Chantilly (where it was showcased), along with Chateau Saint Jean and Cape Canaveral, where several customers have experienced the performance of the hypercar.
